    Ouch... I have to second/third/fourth/(...) everyone on the RC problems.

    1) I see the same Virtue problems reported elsewhere.

    2) When I got XP working, I went to upgrade the tools. About half way through, XP BSOD'd, then proceeded to reboot and BSOD in a cycle for a while. When it finally stabilized, the keyboard and mouse where gone, and I couldn't get them back... I could use the keyboard at boot (to get to the F8 menu to try a safe mode boot, etc), but the moment XP was booted all control was gone... even sending C-A-D from the VM menu failed to do anything. The VM seemed alive (going to full screen and back seemed to work, and the graphcis re-scaled themselves) so I don't beleive it was a simple case of a stuck VM.

    3) The network stopped working, but because of the lack of keyboard/mouse I was unable to debug why.


    When I re-installed B6 and re-launched the VM, everything was back to normal.

    Uhg.
    At least I still have the B6 .dmg saved...
